FARMERS, beware Be not beguiled |
into giving your notes for wheat at $l5 |
per bushel with the guarantee of get
ting that for your crop when it is
grown. The parties, we are told, have
reached our town. People in other
communities have been grossly swim
died. Sign papers to strangers for
nothing.
THE editor of the Record who is good
in figures on applied mathematics, fig
ures it out that the cost of macadamiZ-
ing Commerce street from the stand
pipe to East street taking the work
done at MiddletOWn as a criteriOn)
would be $4620. Or in the way of ex-
penditures, that the 5000. spent per
year for work on streets would macad
amize $50 feet of street.
The second Quarterly Conference
of this station was held on Friday even
ing the report of the pastor and other
church officials showing the church to
| be in a prosperous condition. The
class that contains the larger part of
! the young people, mostly probation
| ers) was reported to be the best in its
attendance, and as a body, of more than
usual interest. The Sunday school was
reported to be larger in attendance than
usual, and thus far, little or no drop
ping off as is customary on the ap-
proach of warm weather.
The Presiding Elder took occasion to
remark that there was a growing and
wonderfully increased interest in Sun
day school work all over the District,
and the opportunities for effective
church work by the young was never
so apparent as at this time. The Ques-
ton now in many places was the want
of room and other facilities to accom-
mOdate this growing department of the
work, and in several of the churches
mainly the larger ones, impOrtan
, church improvements were in contem
platiOn to meet the growing demands
of the Sunday schools.

r. the truth across the mind of the w
mingtOnian (who is usually exceedin
